He has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. – Psalm 22:24 NIV

Dear Lord, I pray for those who are the victims of abuse around the world. I ask You to bring down those whose greed allows them to traffic in human lives and those who are on assignment from the Evil One to kill and persecute Christians. I pray for those who are being abused in their own homes. For all these and many more, I pray that you would provide a way of escape. Amen.

You are saved by the Spirit that makes you holy and by your faith in the truth. – 2 Thessalonians 2:13 NCV

The truth is very difficult to find these days, Lord. We used to be able to trust what we saw and heard, but technology has blurred every boundary. I am going to pray before I move forward on anything, Lord. I will seek your guidance and direction. Thank You for being a beacon of truth, like a lighthouse on the shore, helping me anchor safely in the harbor rather than going aground on the rocks. Amen.
